Universidade Nova de Lisboa - Nova School of Business and Economics

A Master in Economics provides the essential tools for participating in today’s society as a researcher or public policy decision maker. The demanding programme teaches analytical skills and contributes to the political and social awareness needed to build a successful and productive career as an economist.

Classes are held by active researchers in various fields from Behavioral Economics, Competition Policy, Development, Education, Environment, Fiscal Policy, Health Economics, Monetary Economics, to Real Business Cycles. Teaching combines rigorous analysis of real-life social and economic problems with a hands-on approach, using both state-of-the-art theoretical and empirical techniques. Collaborations with central banks, regulators, public services, public utilities and private companies bridge the gap between theory and practice.

The MSc in Economics prepares you on your mission to make the world a better place, through research and fact-based policy advice. Join us!
